New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Canción
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG FRE
Por traidores, tus ojos,
voy a enterrarlos;
No sabes lo que cuesta,
«Del aire»
Niña, el mirarlos.
«Madre a la orilla
Madre.»

Dicen que no me quieres,
Ya me has querido...
Váyase lo ganado,
«Del aire»
Por lo perdido,
«Madre a la orilla
Madre.»

Song
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
Because your eyes are traitors
I will hide from them
You don't know how painful
it is to look at them.
"Mother, I feel worthless,
Mother."

They say they  don't love me
and yet once
they did love me
"Love has been lost 
in the air   
Mother, all is lost
It is lost,
Mother."
